I was going to re-install windows vista n a Dell PC infected with virus. Would it be OK to reformat the C drive first by using the DOS command FORMAT C: at the DOS prompt and then boot up from the original Windows Vista DVD that came with the PC?
The virus is preventing me from booting to the Vista install disk. So, if I reformat, it should clean out the virus, and then leave the install disk in the DVD drive, and re-start, the PC should boot from the install disk. Right?
